UVM — Universal Verification Methodology

Complete UVM course: methodology foundations, phases, factory, TLM, sequences, agents, environments, RAL, coverage, and senior verification architecture.

Course goal

Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) is the industry-standard SystemVerilog class library for reusable, scalable testbenches. This course walks from first principles through production-grade patterns — phases, factory, config_db, TLM, sequences, agents, scoreboards, register models, and coverage closure.

  • Build a mental model so UVM feels like structured OOP, not framework magic.

  • Master phase ordering, objections, factory overrides, and config_db scoping.

  • Design agents, environments, and tests that scale from block to SoC.

  • Integrate RAL, functional coverage, and debug workflows used on real projects.

  • Prepare for senior DV interviews with architecture and triage checklists.
